Answer: Radioactive substances can cause genetic deformation, causing cancer and undesirable hereditary effects.

Explanation:  These can happen when the body is exposed to radioactive substances for a long time, thus, the radiation penetrates into the body, thereby damaging the cells and tissues.

A cart starts from rest and accelerates at 4.0 m/s2 for 5.0 s, then maintains that velocity for 10 s, and then decelerates at th
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

Final speed of car = 12 m/s

Explanation:

We have equation of motion v = u + at, where v is final velocity, u is initial velocity, a is acceleration and t is time.

a) A cart starts from rest and accelerates at 4.0 m/s² for 5.0 s

        v = ?

        u = 0 m/s

        a = 4.0 m/s²

         t = 5 s

         v = u + at = 0 + 4 x 5 = 20 m/s

b) Then maintains that velocity for 10 s

        v = ?

        u = 20 m/s

        a = 0 m/s²

         t = 10 s

         v = u + at = 20 + 0 x 10 = 20 m/s

c) Then decelerates at the rate of 2.0 m/s² for 4.0 s

        v = ?

        u = 20 m/s

        a = -2.0 m/s²

         t = 4 s

         v = u + at = 20 + -2 x 4 = 12 m/s

Final speed of car = 12 m/s

A piston motion moves a 25-kg hammerhead vertically down 1 m from rest to a velocity of 50 m/s in a stamping machine. What is th
Alja [10]

Answer:

31.005 KJ

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of hammerhead=25 kg

Initial velocity,u=0

Final velocity,v=50 m/s

h=-1 m

h'=0

We have to find the change in total energy of the hammerhead.

Change in total energy=E_2-E_1=m(u_2-u_1)+\frac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)+mg(h-h')

Using the formula

Change in internal energy of hammerhead=m(u_2-u_1)=0

Change in total energy=\frac{1}{2}(25)(50)^2+25\times 9.8(-1)

Where g=9.8m/s^2

Change in total energy=31005 J=\frac{31005}{1000}=31.005 KJ

1 KJ=1000 J

Calculate the pressure exerted on a surface by a brick of weight 10 N. The area in contact with the surface is 20 cm2
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

Explanation:

Force of brick = 10 N

Area of surface = 20 cm^2

Pressure = force / area

∴ Pressure = 10 / 20

= 1 / 2 or 0.5 Pa

Hope this hepls

plz mark it as brainliest!!!!!!!!
